In genetics, traits that reappear in the second generation are typically referred to as recessive traits. These traits may not be expressed in the first generation (F1) due to the dominance of a different trait but can resurface when the F1 individuals are crossed. This reappearance is a result of the segregation of alleles during gamete formation, allowing the recessive phenotype to manifest in some offspring of the second generation (F2).

Which type of genetic trait appears in every generation of offspring?

A dominant genetic trait appears in every generation of offspring because only one copy of the dominant allele is needed for the trait to be expressed.


What is law of dominance and how do traits manifest if it is from a parent with this type of trait?

Mendel's law of dominance states that when two pure breeding organisms of contrasting traits (such as purple flower or white flower) are crossed, only one trait of the pair appears in the F1 generation. This is known as the dominant trait (purple), and the other unexpressed trait (white) is recessive.


What is the term for the breeding of parents when only one trait is being investigated?

The term for breeding parents when only one trait is being investigated is called a "monohybrid cross." In this type of genetic cross, one trait is analyzed to observe how it is inherited from one generation to the next, typically focusing on dominant and recessive alleles. This approach helps in understanding the inheritance patterns of that specific trait.


What type of allele is known for skipping a generation?

Recessive alleles are known for skipping a generation. This is because the phenotype associated with a recessive allele is only expressed when an individual inherits two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent. If one parent carries the allele but does not exhibit the trait, it can appear to "skip" a generation before being expressed.


What is arecessive trait?

A recessive trait is a genetic trait that is only expressed when an individual carries two copies of the gene responsible for that trait. It is masked by the presence of a dominant trait when an individual carries one copy of each type of gene.

What is the best type for an ipod touch first generation second generation or current generation?

well, second generation is current generation right now (summer, 2009) second generation has built in speakers, and it's much skinnier, but it is also a bit more expensive, but i'd say its worth it. (i have one)
